Re: [gentoo-user] How can I keep baselayout-1?
I upgraded 2 systems (both servers, one about 30 miles from me and one a VPS on another continent) and had zero issues. Unless you have the king of all obscure setups or you insist on merging config files by-hand instead of using etc-update or dispatch-conf, there's only a miniscule chance that you'll have any problems. I'd say go for it.

One of my thoughts was: No graphics card with a fan! But the guy in the store said, that graphics cards without a fan has a problem: Either they are to slow (less heat) to be bought by the people or they are fast enough to be bought, but they will die sooner/easier due to a too hot GPU. He gave me a card with fans and said: If you hear something too loud -- bring it back. I tested the card and: Nothing. The only thing I hear is the very quiet fan of the PC case. The card is a: MSI N430GT PCI Express 2.0. It has two fans, which means lesser noise since both fans can run at lower speed. You said, you will not need a gamer graphics card. But if you are a fan of rendering (Blender,Luxrendere etc...) you may consider a card with more muscles since GPU based rendering is the way to go. BUT: When reading the driver informations from nvidia I found that the sections saying Added support for are still missing the GT 430. I dont know whether this has any impact to you work -- the card runs well with Linux and the OpenGL-based Blender does not have any problems (its GPU based render engine is currently under development so I didnt test that...)

RE: [gentoo-user] Xserver on Dell Inspiron M1710
I just caught the tail of this thread... is this about an nvidia video? If so, even under Ubuntu I had troubles with X. I downloaded the nvidia source for the driver for mine (on a couple of different machines), and compiled it, then modprobe'd it, then added it to the autoload conf file. X worked very nicely after that. I just went through this same headache with another Dell (D420) which had an Intel graphics onboard chip. Although, in that instance, Noven really came through, showing me some of his xorg.conf file, and pointing out the need for some fancy driver loading... Nvidia seems to have its own brand of headache with Linux on a few distro's. I've taken it as a rule of thumb to compile-load-add_to_conf to avoid all of their mess on all of my machines. I don't know if gentoo has this in portage (easy enough to check for it), but Ubuntu has an nvidia-kernel package that is apt-able, and then with the driver in hand, it can be compiled and loaded. I'm sure gentoo, (being a superior development machine) has it (or something quite similar). -Original Message- From: Mick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 03, 2007 3:44 AM To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Xserver on Dell Inspiron M1710 On Thursday 03 May 2007 01:08, Colleen Beamer wrote: Hi all, I'm having a heck of a time. I've tried so many things, that I'm totally confused. After installing xorg-x11, I ran Xorg -configure. It gives me a file with no horizontal or vertical sync. I would think then that you would have to enter these yourself - check the manufacturers manual, or the equivalent OEM product specification. What I mean here is that Dell are assemblers, or box-shifters, they don't actually manufacture components. Their products are usually similar with other differently branded products. If you find the OEM then you should be able to source the hsync for it. Alternatively, you could try different LiveCDs for one that successfully guesses these parameters and run xvidtune to see what they are, or look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log. You could do well to see if they load any particular modules for your monitor/keyboard/mouse too. If you haven't yet wiped out WinXP you could run msinfo.msc to find out what the monitor reports to the MSWindows kernel. Finally, you could try installing Ubuntu, SUSE, Fedora, etc. to find one that recognises and configures your hardware before you copy xorg.conf for using it thereafter with Gentoo. I tried using the ddcxinfo-knoppix tool, but when I did ddxcinfo-knoppix -hsync, it returned 0 0. When I did ddxcinfo-knoppix -modelines, it didn't have a matching mode for my monitor - the default being 1920x1200. I assume that because I don't have a horizontal and vertical sync in my xorg.conf file that's why the screen becomes all garbled when startx bombs out. and, or it could be because you need some special driver (not familiar with nvidia I'm afraid). Xorg.0.log tells me that there is no core keyboard or mouse. I've built support into the kernel. in /dev/input/ there are choices for mice mouse0 and mouse1. I've tried using all of these and trying various drivers, but nothing works. I'm afraid I'm not sure how to help here, but if your mouse/keyboard are not configured properly you may never be able to boot into X.

I use vesafb-tng for frame buffer, the intel driver gave me too much grief for not enough return (although I last tried it over a year ago). For DRI I use the drm_i915 and agp_intel modules. I also have 915resolution emerged, your need for that depends on whether your monitor has widescreen.

I got the kernel rebuilt and compiled, and used some of your xorg.conf suggestions. X comes up fine on the D240 now! I really appreciate your help with this. Excellent, glad to hear you got it working. FYI Beryl with AIGLX works brilliantly on it too :) I've been looking into Beryl as well. As soon as I get gnome fired up, I'll do some more emerging... I'm looking into the possibility of setting up another gentoo box for a friend of mine who wants to learn about Linux from the inside out (as he puts it). I'm considering just giving him the minimal install CD and a link to the handbook (which is where I started), and let him go to town.

[gentoo-user] workspace setups
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 My first email from my new gentoo laptop! I'm trying to figure out how these workspaces 'work'. I want to setup one for business, and another for dev. e.g. in the business space, i'd have office apps, stock ticker, etc showing. in the dev space, i'd have a program editor,web browser,etc. is there some gentoo or wiki docs that give me a good intro in how to customize these spaces? Thanks for the input...
